“CADFEM UK CAE Ltd. gave us the confidence we needed to proceed. Before spending too much money, I wanted to know whether the electronics would survive [the impact]. Golf balls are compressed by 1/3 of their diameter and see peak instantaneous accelerations of almost 30,000 G. It was entirely possible that under these forces the layer ceramic core, the chipsets, or the small pieces of glass-like silicon used in the timing circuits would shatter. Although later designs pulled everything into a spherical polycarbonate core, these early tests were key to understanding whether we were heading down the right path in terms of materials”
